Wild Boar Head Placed on Quran in Swedish Town Following Mass Stabbing by Afghan Immigrant

Earlier this month, the Swedish town city of Vetlanda saw a mass stabbing incident, in which a 22-year-old Afghan man injured seven people. A local association that helps migrants subsequently voiced concerns about animosity toward refugees.

A chopped-off wild boar head has been placed on a copy of the Quran in the Swedish town of Vetlanda in Jönköping County. The act is currently being investigated as a hate crime and incitement against an ethnic group, the police said.

The installation was found in a parking lot in a residential area. By the time the police patrol arrived at the scene, many onlookers had already gathered to get a glimpse.

At least two ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ episodes have been removed from streaming service Paramount+ due to “inappropriate elements,” including a “panty raid” and a Krusty Krab quarantine that resembles the coronavirus pandemic.

Canada to change law that bars immigrants with disabilities and illnesses

Canada to change law that bars immigrants with disabilities and illnesses

The federal government is going to change the current law that bars migrants with disabilities and illnesses from immigrating to Canada.

The federal government plans to permanently change the so-called “medical inadmissibility rule” against prospective permanent and temporary migrants who have a health condition that “might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand” on Canadian health or social services.

The excessive demand cost is linked to average Canadian per capita health and social services. The cost threshold against migrants is updated yearly. In 2020, it was set at $21,204.

The New York Times had to retract his story. This Queen’s professor stands behind him.

The New York Times had to retract his story. This Queen’s professor stands behind him.

In December 2016, New York Times reporter Rukmini Callimachi travelled to Canada to meet Shehroze Chaudhry, an Oakville, Ontario man who claimed to have been a part of ISIS in Syria in 2014 before returning to Canada. Callimachi, a foreign correspondent who covered Al Qaeda and ISIS at the time, would turn Chaudhry’s story into the award-winning—and later largely retracted—podcast series, Caliphate. But in this moment, as she left Canada, she felt like Chaudhry simply needed someone to talk to.

She put him in touch with Mubin Shaikh, a counterterrorism and extremism expert. Shaikh then called Amar Amarasingam, an extremism expert and assistant professor at Queen’s School of Religion, to give Chaudhry more support. Amarasingam first spoke to Chaudhry on Dec. 8, 2016 and told The Journal they’ve been “in touch ever since, on and off.”

The Prof is as big a bullshitter as the jihadi wannabe.

Protests were held outside Batley Grammar School, where the staff member was suspended after complaints.

Baroness Kishwer Falkner said making a teacher fear for their safety was “simply unacceptable”.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission chair said the school “ought to be trusted” to take action.

Fired USA Today Editor Deflects From Wrongdoing, Alleges ‘White Supremacy’

Hemal Jhaveri – progressive racist

A USA Today “race and inclusion” editor was fired this week for using her professional Twitter account to report flagrant disinformation in the wake of a mass shooting. In response, she wrote a lengthy Medium post that briefly admitted “regret” for her “careless error in judgement” but focused mostly on how the corporate press is allegedly “subservient to white authority.”
